Chapter 349: Undecided

At this moment, in Anlu City, the envoy is in charge.

An Niang sat at the top, and below was a mess of officials, all shouting: "Madam, madam, something is wrong, how can this be good?" ”

"Madame, make a decision!"

"The former army Huyantong rebelled, and Anlu is not guaranteed, for your safety, it is better to withdraw as soon as possible, right?"

"Yes, yes, this An Lu can't hold it, let's go, it's too late!"

"Huyantong, thief, thief!" Someone else is scolding.

By An Niang's side, the brothers Feng Changqing and Feng Changyuan carefully protected the housemother with the handle of the knife.

Seeing that it was too chaotic below, Feng Changqing raised his breath and shouted: "What is the chaos, it's all quiet, the sky can't fall!" ”

This sound was so clear that everyone was suddenly shocked. The hall fell silent immediately, except for the roar of his echoes.

An Niangcai said slowly: "I am a woman, how can I have a big deal with the military?" ”

A magistrate stepped forward and said, "Madam, when did you still say this?" The military envoys were far away in Hunan, and the various armies were stationed in other places to fight the enemy army. Now, Huyantong rebels, and the city is in chaos. Order must be restored as soon as possible, but now you say yours, I will do mine, like a fly without a head, no one has the prestige to stabilize the situation, we can only ask Madame to come forward. ”

"Yes, I'll wait for my wife to take the lead." All the officials said in unison.

Feng Changqing also gave his hand: "Madam, please make a decision on the urgent matter!" ”

An Niang: "Abandon the city, lose An Lu, where can we go?" ”

Wang Shen also explained to her during his expedition to Hunan that during his absence, he handled daily affairs by himself. If something big happens, and Xingyuan can't deal with it, you can report it to her, and she and Chen Da will make the final decision.

Li Heng suddenly ran to the former army camp, and Xingyuan also knew about it in advance. However, everyone took it lightly, thinking that Hu Yantong and the former army would not have any problems with their loyalty to the military envoys, and they should be seen as a joke.

Moreover, Li Heng was the nominal supreme military and political governor of Jingchu after Wang Shen left Jianghan, and he also liked to dictate the affairs of Xingyuan on weekdays, and it was not easy for everyone to stop him from doing anything.

But Li Heng did not come out as soon as he entered the front army, and Hu Yantong did not report the matter to Xingyuan.

After this matter was delayed for a while, it was not until the news of Xingyuan and the former army was cut off that everyone felt that the problem was a bit serious.

At this time, Chen Da also heard about this, and immediately infiltrated the front army with people from the Military Justice Department.

But when he went, he was arrested by Hu Yantong and Li Heng.

At this time, Xingyuan was stunned and understood that Hu Yantong was a rebellion.

Hearing this, there was a great chaos in the city, and some officials and wealthy merchants began to pack their belongings and prepare to flee.

You must know that the original military arrangement was to let the former army be stationed outside the city and defend the base camp.

Wang Shen ruled the army very strictly, and in order to prevent his soldiers from harassing the people, the troops were generally stationed outside the city. As for the security in the city, it is handed over to the local government and the second-line township army. Unless the war reaches a place where it is out of control and it is necessary to defend the city, the main field army will enter the city.

Of course, there are not many armies in this world that can force the Sizhou army to defend the city.

The current situation is that there are only more than 100 officials and more than 300 villagers in Anlu City. In addition, there is also Kong Xian's rear army, which can be regarded as a regular army.

The backbone of Kong Xian's rear army was the original Kong family army, with about 3,000 men. However, they were very busy, and every day they had to carry the grain and baggage to the various battlefields, and the troops had already been scattered, and now there were only about two hundred men in the city.

In other words, there are only 700 available soldiers in the entire Anlu City, and with this number of men, even if the young and strong people of the whole city are recruited, they will not be able to defend Anlu.

Their own army knows best that although the combat effectiveness of the former army is not ranked first in Sizhou, it is still very easy to attack a city.

Hearing her ask, a businessman in the line said: "Mrs. Yu, the current situation is that Tabai is fighting with the Jurchen cavalry in Yingzhou, and Fang Irong's side may not be able to resist it because of the most difficult situation, because the Tabai army can't go." ”

Everyone nodded silently.

The official continued: "To the south, Deputy Military Envoy Lu is fighting against Li Cheng in Yunmeng, and the fight is also not going well. If we go over, we need to guard against Li Heng and Hu Yantong's thieves attacking back and forth. In this way, we are at our own risk, and naturally we cannot go. Madame can go to the north to meet General Gu Lie and General Wu Xianxian. ”

An Niang: "Go to the two generals Gu and Wu?" ”

"yes, go over there." He said in a mocking manner: "The two generals of Gu and Wu are stationed in two places, and they are each other's horns, and their troops are also strong. Also, it's all mountainous over there. Although Cao Chengde's thieves are powerful, his combat effectiveness is the weakest among all kinds of thieves. As long as the two generals guard the valleys, passes, and checkpoints, the thieves can only cry out in vain. ”

Hearing him say this, everyone nodded again and again: "Well said, it is indeed the wisest choice to go to General Gu and General Wu at present." ”

"Madam, let's go, it's too late!"

"Can't go, can't go!" An Niang suddenly shook her head and said in an aggravated tone: "I can't go!" ”

"Ahh Everyone froze.

An Niang said: "What about going to the north, if An Lu is lost, we will fall into the mountains and be surrounded by thieves from all walks of life, then there is no room to move." ”

A civil official said: "Madam, although there is a possibility of being surrounded by the north, at least in the short term, you can protect yourself." Delay for a while, so as to wait for change, as long as the military envoy returns. ”

"Yes, that's right."

"No, you're not right." An Niang interrupted him and said, "If you lose An Lu, where will our army's food come from, maybe it won't take a few days, the sergeants will be hungry, and how many days can it be delayed?" Even if the military envoy returns, there is no military ration, and he can only cry out in vain. ”

She stood up and said, "No, we can't go, we must defend Anlu." When the envoy leaves, he gives us one of his belongings, and if he loses all his grain and baggage, how will we see him in the future? ”

"But, but ......"

Everyone was about to be persuaded, when suddenly, a small official ran in with a hot sweat: "Madam, madam, something is wrong." ”

An Niang: "What's the matter, don't worry, say it slowly." ”

Officer: "Madam, it's too bad, the rear army and the rear army...... General Kong reversed ......"

"What?" An Niang's brain exploded with a buzz, this is the house leak that happened to rain overnight: "What's the matter with General Kong Kong?" ”

Official: "General Kong Xian is now assembling troops, opening the treasury again, and loading the grain and straw into the car, saying that Anlu is finished, and the gentleman is not standing under the dangerous wall, and he wants to leave his mother." ”

An Niang: "What is this called, General Kong should be afraid of An Lu falling and want to escape, go, lead the way in front, I'll take a look." ”

The group didn't care about any more discussions, and hurriedly walked outside. Kong Xian's current despair of the future and want to go their separate ways, not rebellion, which makes everyone breathe a sigh of relief.

However, the hundreds of people under his command are the strongest fighting power in Anlu City now, how can they let them go?
